Health and Yoga Natural Dried Grass Yoga Mat

Reviewers say the Health and Yoga Natural Dried Grass Yoga Mat is a good pick for those who prefer eco-friendly yoga mats made from natural materials. This mat, made from dried grass with a latex backing, comes in two sizes -- 24 by 72 inches or 36 by 72 inches -- so it offers plenty of room to spread out. Reviewers love the textured surface, which they say provides good grip for balance poses. Unlike plastic or rubber yoga mats, the Health and Yoga mat never gets slippery. It also lacks any distracting smell -- a complaint we see often for other yoga mats, particularly those made from rubber. However, one reviewer says the Health and Yoga Natural Dried Grass Yoga Mat slides too easily on hard floors, even with the latex backing. The mat weighs 4.5 pounds. Overall, reviewers prefer the Jade Harmony Professional Yoga Mat (*Est. $65) among eco-friendly yoga mats.
